Alex – Thanks for delurking and commenting. I know that’s not always easy to do. Appreciate the support. Hope you’re doing well.

Becky – Not a problem. I’ve been too swamped to hit blogs lately myself. Sending you a hug right back.

Sorry this is coming to you late…I’ve been working all weekend.

I hope that the no smoking thing is going ok for you today. I quit smoking 4 years ago. I knpw how hard it is to do and you are in my thoughts as you do this.

I also suffer from depression. I know the waxing and waning fellings all too well. Thank you for sharing this video. I hope you know that you aren’t alone. Sending you big hugs!!

Hey there. I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now but haven’t commented before since I don’t have one of these new-fangled blog-thingies.

I gotta say that video kinda made me take account for all the things I have stupidly left undone because my depression the last few months. I gotta be honest with myself too, just as you have.

More people care and think about ya than ya think (hell even some stranger that you’ve never talked to). G’luck with everything coming up with quitting smoking (find someone to punch out regularly) and keep that blood sugar in check.

Kris – Thanks. Back on the meds. Things are okay, except I want to strangle someone right now. Or have a cigarette.

Sweetie, if your sugar is out of whack, it’s definitely going to affect your Depression.

Start back on your meds and that will start to help the rest.

And you know, more people care (and go through similar shit) than you think. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 39 years is you’re never alone, even though you feel like you are.

Rather than give you some bullshit subliminal command like trying to tell you that cold turkey isn’t the way to go, I’ll instead offer an incentive program: every two weeks you go without smoking I’ll mark you up for a free Guinness. Come next TequilaCon you probably won’t even have a bar tab (unless you want to buy drinks for pretty girl bloggers, but that’s your call).

Avitable – Wow, your friend did a great job on that site. Lots of fun. And yeah, I’m up for more gaming. It’ll have to be next month, though. Again, the money. Urgh.

Dave2 – Yep, I’m actually going to get a haircut in the next few days. And I’ve got 1,500 messages a month. May not be enough.

Papa – Thanks, dude. Much appreciated. I may not have the abs yet, but we’ll see what happens when I get around to exercising.

Karl, you’re funny, witty, smart, and a hell of a good friend. Don’t worry if you don’t have Phelp’s abs, too. joking aside, you have a lot of things going for you, especially people who care a lot about you as is fully evident here. celebrate this!

One of my oldest and best friends in the whole world created that YearbookYourself site. She sent it to me for beta testing about two weeks ago. It’s pretty fun.

Hey, if you want to come over and do another Wii game night or something, let me know. Maybe that will help!
